misconceptions about what property is subject to division and what is
exempt, or what you can expect to receive in case of Divorce. At Nina
Scopetti Attorney at Law, we are highly knowledgeable about all areas
of divorce, including property division. Our Columbus divorce attorney
can ensure you are fully aware of your rights and the most effective steps
you can take to protect your property.

What Property Is Subject to Division?

Marital property is typically divided equally. Marital property consists
primarily of assets and debts acquired during the marriage, regardless
of which spouse holds the title to the property. Non-marital property
is property which is usually not subject to division , and includes property
owned prior to the marriage, items which were acquired as a gift or inheritance.
This separate property can include real estate, pensions, interest acquired
on separate property, property excluded specifically through a marital
agreement, inheritance, and gifts given to only one spouse. Characterizing,
tracing, and valuing property can be quite complex, but our Columbus divorce
attorney can help identify separate and marital property before the division
process begins.

When decisions are made about property division, a few considerations are
kept in mind, including:

Whether the property is marital or separate, or a combination of both

Whether the spouse claiming a separate property interest can “trace”
the property

Which party will be paying the debts

Whether the property can be divided or whether it should be sold

Which party will maintain the real estate
